Apart from some pieces that were really quite magical to see in the flesh I loved the effect of these David Smith Sculptures where they threw shadows on the floor and spaces around.  These were more interesting to me than the sculptures themselves . Unfortunately I was told to put my camera away but managed to capture the above.
